About

Chris Caruso Wines produces elegant, classically styled wines from organically farmed grapes in Santa Barbara County's Ballard Canyon AVA. Winemaker Chris Caruso, trained by legend Paul Lato, uses minimal intervention with fruit from Kimsey Vineyard (Syrah) and Piazza Bella Vista Vineyard (Grenache). The focus is on extreme attention to detail for balanced, high-scoring wines.
